★★★★★Restoration

“Rich and vibrant after a single coat.”

I needed to restore the faded yellow on my Air Jordan 4 Lightning kicks. The color looks rich and vibrant after applying a single coat of the yellow suede dye from Angelus.

“I love the color!”

Easy to apply, and I love the color! I saved some cash by buying a pair of beige suede shoes on sale and dyeing them myself.

Angelus Neutral Suede Dye is the uncolored suede dye in the Angelus line. It soaks into suede and nubuck like the colored dyes, and it mixes with any Angelus suede dye color.

Choose a 3 oz. bottle, pint, or quart.

Before you dye

Because the dye soaks in, the final color depends on the suede underneath. For example, red dye on white suede turns pink, not true red. Test on a hidden spot first.

Common questions

Can I mix suede dye colors?

Yes. Angelus suede dyes mix together, so you can blend a custom shade.

Pairs with

Brush the nap up before and after dyeing with the Angelus Nubuck & Suede Kit. Shop more colors in our suede dye collection.

Dyeing leather is different from painting as it soaks into the material rather than sitting on top like paint.

The final color depends on the base color of the leather, so a white surface dyed with red will turn pink, not true red.

Angelus Leather Dyes are designed to enhance and transform brown leather rather than lighten it. Keep this in mind when selecting your dye color.

DYEING SMOOTH LEATHER WITH ANGELUS LEATHER DYE

1. Prep by wiping down leather with leather preparer using our applicators, cotton balls, or a rag.

2. Wait for leather to dry a few minutes. Wipe down with microfiber towel to remove all lint.

3. Using Wool Daubers (One is supplied with each dye) soak the dye on the dauber.

4. Be careful of what you are dyeing. If you are dyeing a large spot use the dauber fully soaked. If you are doing a smaller section a paint brush or much less dye on the dauber may be required. 

5. Make sure to soak the article you are dyeing. Dye works by soaking into the item you are dyeing. It does not act like paint. Feel free to soak and evenly rub across to make sure all is even. 

6. Leave to dry. You may see a tint, bronzing, or any different finish. Do not panic! This is just residual dye on the surface.

7. (Optional) Wipe with a microfiber towel to remove excess dye pigment. If there is still a sheen or tint use some alcohol on said microfiber and wipe down quickly. Do not let the alcohol sit on the item or else you risk lifting some of the dye and discoloring. Once done the tint should disappear and it will just be the color. 

8. If you wish to dye the item more of the color complete steps 5-7 again. 

9. If you are looking to protect and nourish the leather we suggest using Angelus Leather Balm or Neutral Angelus Shoe Polish. If you do not want the shine of the shoe polish just lightly buff versus a full buff to shine. If you dyed the article a black or brown we would suggest even buffing with a colored shoe polish or Lustre Cream.

DYEING SUEDE WITH ANGELUS SUEDE DYE

1. Prep by cleaning the surface with a cleaning product like our Angelus Easy Cleaner Kit. It is necessary to get all the oils and dirt that may be sitting in or on the suede material. 

2. You cannot "SPOT TREAT" suede. Please make sure to fully wash/clean the entire surface to avoid water spots.

3. If the suede feels hard in texture, there is too much product in the material. Use a suede brush to loosen the suede. You can also use a soft bristle brush and water to pull out the cleaner. Let it dry, then you can continue.

4. Using Wool Daubers (One is supplied with each dye) soak the dye on the dauber.

5. Be careful of what you are dyeing. If you are dyeing a large spot use the dauber fully soaked. If you are doing a smaller section a paint brush or much less dye on the dauber may be required. 

6. Make sure to soak the article you are dyeing. Dye works by soaking into the item you are dyeing. It does not act like paint. Feel free to soak and evenly rub across to make sure all is even. 

7. Leave to dry for a few hours.

8. Using our Suede Kit brush or a strong bristled brush, break up the suede to bring it back to its natural feel. Be careful to not let residual dye get on other parts while brushing excess off. This will help the suede feel original again as well as remove excess dye so not run in case it gets wet.

9. (Optional)We highly recommend spraying down with our Water Repellent or Mink Oil Aerosol. \

Good to know

Suede dye questions, answered

Quick answers from our counter staff.

Can I spot treat suede?

No. Clean and dye the whole surface to avoid water spots. If the suede feels hard, brush it to loosen the nap before dyeing.

Will the color look the same on my suede?

It depends on the suede underneath. Red dye on white suede turns pink, not true red. Test a hidden spot first.

Can I dye any suede black?

Black covers most suede colors well, since dye works best going darker.

Can I mix suede dye colors?

Yes. Angelus suede dyes mix together, so you can blend a custom shade. Don’t mix suede and leather dyes.

Suede dye or leather dye?

Suede dye for suede and nubuck. It has less color than leather dye and is made to keep suede soft; leather dye can make suede hard.

Does it ship outside the U.S.?

Suede dye ships within the U.S. only.

Not the greatest diluting. Finished product got too shiney

Hi Michele, thank you for your feedback. Please send us some photos so that we can understand what it looks like. There should not be a 'shine' on suede material. We would like to take a look. info@angelusdirect.com

Meh

Paid extra for express shipping (1-3 days) and it took almost 2 weeks for it to arrive. Little disappointing.

I'm sorry you did not receive your order in a timely manner. We do see that you chose 'priority shipping', however we do have a processing time that is 2-4 business days prior to the order shipping out. So sorry about that. We hope you can give us another chance in the future.

Extremely Useful and Essential!

I had a great time using this product. The light blue suede dye is much too bright/strong for repairing my baby blue shoes, so I had to dilute it a ton in order to add just a tint of blue onto my shoes. Without neutral suede dye, my shoes would have been much too dark and ruined!

Worked great!

Love Angelus dye! Worked perfectly to dilute my purple, only reason for 4 stars is that I hate the lids that come with the dye. Since this stuff is clear, the lid is bad and it holds dye and I didn’t notice spills. Overall great, just watch dye staying in the lid.
